Up to two postdoctoral positions are available at Brandeis University to work on exciting problems in theoretical neuroscience (mathematical-neuroscience.net). Research topics include the analysis of the dynamics of neuron model or neural networks with heterogeneous elements, learning, memory and pathological brain states, as well as the embryonic development of neural assemblies. Techniques include numerical simulations, dynamical systems (with delays, jumps and/or multiple timescales), probabilities and statistical physics.

All projects will involve heavy collaboration with experimental groups in Boston area, Paris and abroad. The positions are up to 3 year terms, contingent upon satisfactory progress, with competitive salary and benefits packages. The fellows will participate to the vibrant scholar life in the Boston area. The successful candidates will join the Mathematics Department at Brandeis University (http://www.brandeis.edu/departments/mathematics/) with strong ties to the Neuroscience group (http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/). Opportunities to teach in the math department could be available and are encouraged!

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in mathematics, (computational) neuroscience, physics or engineering and have an excellent track record of scholarship, have experience in dynamical systems and/or stochastic models, and be familiar with computational programing.

Applications from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged.

Candidates should send their CV, a cover letter indicating their research interests and professional goals, and names and contact information of two references to jtouboul@brandeis.edu .

Best wishes,

Jon
